    My connection to nature is more than simply observing its beauty.
    Experiencing the natural wonders of the desert has heightened all of
    my senses and stirs something deep within my soul. The enchantment of
    my surroundings, along with my personal journey, plays an integral
    part in my design process. 

    Since texture has always fascinated me, integrating textile methods
    with traditional metalsmithing techniques became a natural choice for
    me to transform my designs into reality.  Weaving and shaping silver
    and gold has become for me a meditative and peaceful journey.  Using
    my torch and dancing the flame as I solder, taps into my primitive
    fascination with fire, which is both joyful and magical.  Each time
    an idea develops into an actual object, it reconfirms my passion.   
    With each experience, I hope to widen my boundaries for my next
    adventure.
